Providing Ventilation at John Radcliffe Hospital During the COVID-19 Crisis

Case Study Overview

In an effort to help contain the spread of COVID-19 within the John Radcliffe Hospital, RVT has devised a bespoke solution using the negative pressure principal to try and keep the virus contained within the wards that are housing patients who are suffering from suspected COVID-19.

Challenge

Certain areas of the hospital, that have had to be made available solely for the assessment and treatment of patients with suspected COVID -19, are currently positive pressure environments. In an effort to contain the virus, they will need to be converted to negative pressure environments.

Solution

RVT decided that the combined use of the highly effective Ventex 300M and 450S centrifugal fans would create the best solution for this demanding project.
